most terrible agony the swelling began
TO 20 down, and in a week the victim
was able to get about. In months time
all the effects of the poison seemed to
have disappeared and the boy was as well
as ever.
On the Goth OF August 1894, he was
seized with a sharp pain in his foot,
which began to swell, and in short time
his leg and foot we're swollen to double
their size, and became spotted. as they
had on the day the boy was bitten by the
snake He experienced the same svmp.
toms, and suffered for three days almost
as much agony rs he had the year before.
When the swelling again went down the
pain subsidized and the symptoms disap.
peared. Regularly on the Goth OF August
every year since the same symptoms
have appeared, on the authority Of q
well-known citizen of Tioga county, and
their recurrence this year was marked by
more than usual pain and swelling, the
spots on the leg and body strikingly re-
sembling that Of a rattlesnake. The
sufferings of the boy were so intense
that he was not expected to pass through
them with his life, but at last accounts he
was slowly recovering.
1t Is said that there are three similar
cases on record-one of girl no was
bitten by rattlesnake IN Livingston
county, New York, thirty years ago, and
who for twenty-five years, on the ami
versary of the day on which she was
bitten, was subject to the same symp-
toms as attended the original poisoning.
She died in great agony on the twenty
fifth recurrence of the terrible symptoms.

The New Pastor.


The new pastor OF the Broadway Meth
odist Episcopal church, Rev. w. H. w.
Rees, preached his fret sermon yester.
day morning. The church was crowded
with a congregation anxious to see and
hear the new pastor. Mr.. Rees is of
middle age and inspires one with conf
dence rs to his integrity OF purpose and
earnestness in the work he has chosen.
He is very pleasing speaker, articulat-
Ing very plainly, at the same time speak
ing rather slowly. He has a fine flow OF
language with an ability to
clothe beautiful thoughts in simple
words lie prefaced his remarks
by saying that he should pursue the
policy so vigorously outlined by his pre-.
decessor in the suppression of vice and
sin In all its different phases; also that he
should not hesitate to rebuke any of the
church members should he find them
derelict in their church duties. He hoped
to be able to comfort them IN time Of af-
Fiction, to advise in business relations
and to cheer in time of trouble.
He took as his text Colossians i.2S:
"Whom we preach, warning every man
and teaching every man IN all wisdom;
that we may present every man perfect
IN Jesus ChrlSt.
Christ IS the remedy for all the errors
that we commit. Not only belief in
Christ and the transaction of Calvary.
but belief in the personal presence of
Christ to-day is necessary 10 save souls.
Christ is the central theme of all life re-
lated closely to the life of all Christians,
and this belief in the presence of Jesus
Christ is necessary to help you all to bear
the burdens of everyday life, of business
of social relations, of home life, in fact
Christ is the great burden. bearer of the
human race. Without this faith in the
personal presence of Jesus Christ, all
labor, faith and work is vain. He is one
to help you IN the darkest hour.
The pulpit must give no uncertain
sound against sin. Intend TO warn you
against the sin of Indifference.
Resolve by Gods help to guard you
against indifference.
Shun idleness, the church is no place
for idlers; let your place ut church, class
meetings, Cand services not be inter-
fered with by your business.
Be Methodists; God grant that we may
obey the little book as we'll as the larger
one; we live in an age Of books, when 1t
is sin to be ignorant. The pulpit should
teach the way to knowledge for the road
to knowledge IS the way to Christ: the
God of nature is the God we worship,
and we worship Him more perfectly as
we become perfected in knowledge''

New York Sun: On August 30, 1888, n
fve.yearol old son of George Putnam who
lives at Stony Ford, Pa, was returning
home from driving the cows to pasture,
and stopped by the roadside to pick some
berries. He was barefooted, and sud.
denly felt a sharp sting on the instep of
his left foot. He ran crying home and
told his mother that he had scratched his
foot on brier. The foot had begun to
swell, aud his mother picked from the
flesh what she at first supposed to be n
brier, but, as the foot continued TO swell
and the boys sufferings were intense, the
alarming fact was apparent that he had
been bitten by some poisonous snake,
and that the supposed brier was one of
its fangs that had buried itself in the
wound and been pulled from the snakes
jaw.
Mrs. Putnam called her husband, who
was at work near the house, and alarmed
other members of the family. A live
chicken was cut IN two and the warm
flesh applied to the wound. Whisky was
gwen to the boy in large quantities, and
a messenger was dispatched for doctor.
A member Of the family went to the spot
where the boy said he had felt the sharp
sting and found hs snsHs e9sd
and one of its fangs was found to be
missing, which left no doubt of the ma
ture of the boys injury. The snake was
cut open and laid on the wound in the
boys foot, which had swollen to more
than double its natural size. The suffer-
ings of the boy were so great that he
could scarcely be held down in the bed
by two men. The doctor arrived and
cauterized the wound, but said it was too
The swelling had extended up the leg
to his waist, and the leg became spotted.
Antidotes prescribed by the doctor were
administered, but the whisky treatment
was also adhered to. The boys body
turned black, but aftor three days Of the

The Harvest Home.

The harvest home services at the First
Baptist church yesterday morning were
very interesting and we'll attended. The
platform was completely hidden by the
profuse display of cereals. fruits, vcge.
tables and flowers. which were very
tastefully arranged. and showed to the
pastor, entertained his hearers with
very interesting discourse, taking as his
text, Deut. 16: IL. He said that the whole
Jewish people, pious kings, and also
Christ and his apostles observed the
three great yearly festivals spoken of in
the text. When faithful in their observ-
ance of these periods Of thanksgiving,
peace and prosperity reigned, while on
the other side. If not observed, the pro-
result famin stared them in the face,
and they wene gwen into the hands of
their enemies.
Now at this season of harvest, God
wants us to be especially thankful for his
bounty in providing for us. Various
articles of beauty greet the eye and sup.
ply our wants. The wants of the brute
are few; how varied are ours. 1t has
been said that the more wants a man
has, the higher is his civilization" How
very much We are above the savages.
Various fruits. grains ana vegetables add
to our joy. Who would not thank God
for the chemistry of tho sun and air in
preparing all these things for us9 Do
you realize that what we eat and drink
as we'll as our clothing, the cotton and
the wool, all come. directly or indirectly,
from the soil' We could do nothing
should God withhold his blessing. Should
He send famine for q single season. the
loom would be idle and the world in dis
tress, All is dependent ON His bounty.
Should we not thank Him for HIS great
goodness the past season. God forbid
unthankful hearts. We enjoy the united
results of the sunshine and the frost.
have no sympathy with the man or
woman who can not rejoice In
harvest. oday We come here to
return thanks and rejoice for the bless
ings God has bestowed upon us. No
Jew would think of going to the temple

The Silver Cjty Sensation.


The cases of Brinton & Woodman, the
Silver City general merchants, are at
tracing much attention. They sold
their stock to II. M. Wilbur
for $1,000 cash, while j. V.
Farwell Il Co., of Chicago. held a mort
gage against the stock for $2,s75 that,
by agreement of the interested parties
when il was given-July 2, 1SS7-was not
to be placed upon file, as
Brinton & Woodman feared the
recording of the same would
virtually end their business career.
Woodman spent Friday night in the
county jail, and Saturday he. with his
attorney and Chief of Police Mullen,
close up matters so he could AGAIN become
a free man. 1t appears that he made ar
rangements to settle the firms indebted
ness to Messrs. Groneweg u Schoentgen,
of this city, of some 800, and returned in
company with r. M. Wilbur, the pur-
chaser. The chief of police spent the
entire day and night in the company
of the prisoner and at midnight with
his attorney. the prisoner appeared
to be released from arrest as arrange
lnents to settle the case had been made.
MIR. Schoentgen had been induced by
Attorney Lindt TO join the midnight
party, but Squire Schurz said he would
give no midnight decisions, and that the
chief of police, who had so kindly ac-
companied Woodman all day, should
hold the prisoner for appearance Sunday
morning at 0 O'Clock at the justice S
office.
Saturday afternoon S. p. Brinton was
arrested and taken from Silver City to
Glenwood, Mills county, upon informa-
tion filed by Stone & Sims, attorneys
for J. V. Farwell Il Co. This
part of the proceedings being
looked after by j. Y. Stone while
Jacob Sims made affidavit before Squire
had been issued for Woodman also: that
he wanted him held until the sheriff of
Mills county arrived notwithstanding it
| appeared that perhaps the first claim
| made would possibly be satisfied.
While Wilbur. Lindt. Woodman and
| Chief Mullen were driving into Council
Bluffs Saturday night writ of repleyin
was issued in Mills county at the in.
stance of Stone d Sims, and the stock of
goods was taken charge of. 1t Is re-
ported that the stock has been materially
| reduced recently.
Yesterday morning &. p. Brinton, OF
this city, arranged bond for his brother
who is under arrest in Glenwood and
there imprisoned, as the otlense was com
mitted in Mills county, while Woodman's
case under the Groneweg Il Schoentgen
Sheriff Dan Farrell, of Mills county,
arrived yesterday. Prosecuting Attorney
Sims requested that Woodman be de-
livcred to him and Justice Schurz so
ordered, the Groneweg & Schoentgen
case being continued indefinitely.

ter fell, aud Of this 90 Was snow, practically
having no elect In increasing the flow OF
Wa or In the Desplaines and Illinois rivers.
The pollution disappeared from Peoria in
about twen,youe days from lifetime 1t was
first noticed The latter effect was, no doubt,
largely owing to the result of the increased
velocity caused by the dumping Of hfty thous'
and cubic feet OF water per minute from the
21th Of December to the last Of January,
This is probably the first time In the opinion
of DIR. Rauch, that Chicago sewage has
reached Peoria since the construction OF the
pumping works.
Dr. Rauch claims for this Investigation that
II has demonstrated that in winter the amount,
OF sewage pollution Is almost entirely Deepen
dent upon the amount Of water that passes
through the canal from the Chicago river,
and also that not rs much sewage goes into
the canal when navigation lie closed as when
it is open.

adopted in opposition to the drainage bills

companled by car load of statesmen from
Illinois river towns, aud they consumed sew
eral hours in arguments against the passage
of the bills as now drafted and pending in the
general assembly. The committees listened
patiently to the speeches, and at late hour
were still in session." Reports from them
yesterday convey assurances that neither bill
can pass to become a law.
